“Let’s just start putting things back then,” he said, returning the items back to the rack.

In the comments section, some users find the boyfriend’s reaction amusing while others think Lauren is entitled. 

“Sorry but this is realistic. Our guys are great but they aren’t the social media TikTok romantic,’” one user commented.

“He said ‘damn that sounds like a YOU problem,’” another user said.
